More good news for Derbyshire fans this morning as the club announced a new deal for Dan Redfern.
The player is now out in Australia at the Darren Lehmann Academy and will doubtless build on the progress he made during 2012.
More on this and other news later - quite a bit later, as its open night at our daughter's school tonight...
I hope this isn't the boards way of saying there will be no new signings, we'll just be offering the old players new contracts.
ReplyDeleteMark, It strikes me that it is a case of rewarding the players for a season in which they performed above expectations, and a season when they achieved something which many thought unlikely.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing, is that I am of the opinion that 'drip-feeding' the news of these 'new deals' is a savvy bit of PR by the club, by which they are keeping the name of Derbyshire cricket well out there, in the Press, and also in the minds of members of the public who may well be tempted to become supporters, even members, now that we are in Division 1. There is also the prospect that regular positive publicity could attract new sponsors. All good things I think!
Lastly, I am convinced that Krikk will have so-called overseas irons in the fire so-to-speak. So I have no worries on that score.
Absolutely right Alan! Couldn't agree more
